3 Review of
Activities

Team Malaga v Spain
MK said that there was a terrific atmosphere between players,
especially the ladies, and whilst rankings were taken into account,
it was most important how people got on together and developed a
strong team spirit, with an ability to play with each other.

JC said that MK and BL will work well together in the
next year. He thanked everyone and said well done, and thanked MK
particularly for her support and hard work, especially for the
Andalucian Championships.

BT feels the men's selection is more difficult and
that it is important to have a trial session to look at players as
well as considering what they have achieved, their compatability and
current form.

The Team has lost Tom Rogers and he was congratulated
on being selected to play for Spain.

Spain played aggressively which is not always
appropriate for top players and 3 or 4 heavy woods per game should
be the maximum. However, the atmosphere was great and BT will do
his best to select the right team for the next game.

4 Planned
Activities for Season 2014-15

JC stated that he would like to introduce a skills
assessment session in order to develop a wide range of individual
skills such as different shots, line, weight, casting the jack,
reading the head and so on. Considerable discussion followed
including the use of video cameras, the need for several highly
trained coaches, individual practice at own clubs, the use of drills
and exercises (many available on the internet) to improve
consistency.

The greatest problem is the lack of opportunity for
everyone to get together with such a busy calendar.

It was agreed that it was essential to have early
team selection and the opportunity to practice together prior to the
Spain match. Two days were identified and confirmed:

Sunday, 9th November Team
selection and skills development Miraflores BC

Tuesday, 13th January Practice
session
Miraflores BC

Suggestions for additional practice included:

·Team
Malaga visits to other clubs

·Invite
Almeria

·Liaise
with Gibraltar

·Ladies
v Men challenge

·Invite
team from Scotland

·Team
Malaga v best non-federated players.

Further ideas to be given to AD as Competition
Secretary.

5 New Team Malaga
Kit

MK pointed out that Henselite has stopped producing
the tops currently used by Team Malaga. Spares may be available
from players no longer needing them. Caps and visors are still in
stock. It was agreed that the purchase of similar new shirts would
be explored for the future, but that team trousers were not
necessary as they would only be worn on a couple of occasions.
Another suggestion was for the Federation to buy shirts, retain
them, and players pay a fee to hire them.

TM will look at the possibility of sponsorship for
kit and a contract for logos for a period of 4 or 5 years.
